Holy Week Stations of the Cross

This emotional procession takes place in the early hours from Good Friday to Holy Saturday in the city of Mérida (Extremadura).

The celebration begins with a processional parade that carries the medieval image of Cristo de la O from the Co-Cathedral of Santa María to the Roman Amphitheatre, an integral part of the archaeological complex of Mérida, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Stations of the Cross are movingly re-enacted in the Amphitheatre.
